Cooking time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

Ingredients (4 servings)
150 g Powidl
1 dash Rum
1 pinch Cinnamon
20 g Yeast, fresh
1 piece(s) Egg
1 piece(s) Egg yolk
500 ml Milk, lukewarm
1 pinch Salt
0,5 piece(s) Peel of untreated lemon
40 g Powdered sugar
300 g Flour, smooth
250 ml Sour cream
250 g Old Viennese breadcrumbs
Oil for frying

Preparation

  • Add a dash of rum and a little cinnamon to the Powidl. In a bowl, combine the crumbled yeast, egg, egg yolk, half of the milk, salt, ­lemon zest and sugar, and stir with a wooden spoon. Add the remaining milk and the flour alternately, little by little, stirring constantly. Work the batter until it becomes thick and ­viscous and bubbles start to form, which should take about 5 minutes.
  • Let the batter rise in the warm oven at 95–104 °F (35–40 °C) for half an hour. If you have a pancake pan with indentations for mini pancakes, pour a few drops of oil into each indentation, otherwise pour into a normal pan; the Liwanzen are not deep fried. As soon as the oil is hot, pour the batter into the pan with a small ladle, let it set, then turn over and finish. Spread Powidl over the Liwanzen, add the curd cheese, dust with powdered sugar and finally cover with sour cream.
